Micro climatic modification

edit

- Artificial control of field environment to keep the optimum condition of plant growth and crop production - A practice of environmental control requires a complete knowledge of physiology of plants and physical environment.

it is be done through:

  1. Controlling wind velocity
  2. Controlling heat load
  3. Controlling water balance.
